RE: Calling function with text parameter

There is no way within the XSLT 1.0 standard to force the serializer to
output apostrophe as ' rather than &apos;, but there might be a way in
your chosen product (which you don't name).

Do browsers really treat ' and &apos; differently? I'm appalled.

Subject: FW: [xsl] Calling function with text parameter


Hi ppl.
I have a problem with my xsl... in the "this line" comment, 
i'm trying to set the value of  "onClick" attribute, that is 
a javascript function with a text parameter, but in my html 
page it appears without the apostrophes ...<tr align="center" 
onClick="alert(&apos;hello&apos;)">...
This isn't valid for javascript. The correct result must be 
...<tr align="center" onClick="alert('hello')">...

in my servlet, i'm using the next method to make the parse

import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import org.dom4j.Document;
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;
import org.dom4j.DocumentHelper;
import org.dom4j.Element;
import org.dom4j.io.DocumentResult;
import org.dom4j.io.DocumentSource;
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;

public String getHTML(String xslfile)
{
try{
TransformerFactory factory = 
TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = 
factory.newTransformer( new StreamSource( xslfile ) ); 
DocumentSource source = new DocumentSource( document ); 
DocumentResult result = new DocumentResult(); 
transformer.transform( source, result );

// return the transformed document
Document transformedDoc = result.getDocument();
String html = transformedDoc.asXML();
return html;
}
catch (TransformerException e){
return "<html><body><h1>Error</h1>" + e.getMessage() + 
"</body></html>"; } }

Here is the xml and xls
